IWC Cal. 89 18k Rose 1958

IWC Cal. 89 18k Rose Gold, 1958 - Oversized elegance. Legendary movement. Quiet perfection.

This exceptional IWC dress watch from 1958 embodies the golden era of Swiss watchmaking — combining mechanical integrity with visual restraint. Housed in an oversized 36 mm 18k rose gold case, its design is elevated by large, slightly downturned lugs that add both presence and poise on the wrist.

The silver-white dial is a lesson in balance and purity — untouched and clean, with warm rose gold alpha hands and matching hour markers. There's no clutter here — only elegance, perfectly preserved.

Inside beats the revered IWC Caliber 89, one of the most celebrated manual-wind movements of the 20th century — prized for its precision, durability, and easy serviceability. Designed under the leadership of Albert Pellaton, the Cal. 89 powered many of IWC’s most iconic watches, including military-issued models for the British MOD.

If you're looking for a vintage dress piece that bridges classic Swiss craftsmanship with contemporary proportions — this is it.
